But that’s about to change as Jaguar has decided to debut their new sports car at this year’s Lord Mayor’s Show in London on 10th November.
But just to make sure there’s an added bit of kudos for the new F-Type as it drives along London’s City Streets, Jaguar has roped in Olympic golden girl Jessica Ennis to cast a bit of the residual fairy dust from this year’s summer of sport with a photocall before the show and Jess behind the wheel as the Lord Mayor’s procession takes to the streets.
But Jaguar aren’t just taking the new F-Type to the show, they’ve also got a couple of classic E-Types too, just to ram home the lineage of the F-Type.
There’s an E-Type once owned by ‘Lofty’ England – Jaguar’s sports car racing team manager in the 1950s who went on to be Jaguar’s Chairman and CEO – which has been restored by Classic Motor Cars in Bridgnorth and another E-Type – chassis #24 – which was a Daily Mail competition prize in 1961 and has since been restored back to its former glory.
The Jaguar F-Type, Jessica Ennis and the Lord Mayor’s Show can be seen in London on Saturday 10th November.
